Cleveland Football Report

The Cleveland Browns are 3-1 and heading into Week 5 against the New York Jets... a matchup almost nobody expected to look like this before the season.

Nick Pedone is joined by Jake Asman, host of The Jake Asman Show on YouTube and an ESPN New York contributor, to break down Browns vs. Jets ahead of Sunday's matchup.

Jake explains why Deshaun Watson's resurgence has surprised him, what Todd Monken has done to get Watson playing with confidence again, and why he believes Cleveland's coaching staff deserves a ton of credit for the Browns' 3-1 start.

On the other side, Jake gives a brutally honest assessment of Aaron Glenn, the Jets' coaching staff, and why New York has struggled despite having talent on the roster.

We also discuss Garrett Wilson, Geno Smith, the Jets' young playmakers, Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, New York's three first-round picks in the 2027 NFL Draft, and the possibility that the Jets could be looking for both a new head coach and quarterback.

Plus, Jake gives his prediction for Browns-Jets and names an underrated Jets player Browns fans should know before kickoff.

The Cleveland Browns are 3-1 and sitting atop the AFC North after a hard-fought win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Former Browns offensive lineman Chris Hubbard joins Nick Padone on the Cleveland Football Report to break it all down.

Could the Cleveland Browns actually trade Shedeur Sanders?

ESPN's Dan Graziano has already floated the possibility that Sanders could become available to teams looking for a young quarterback in need of a change of scenery. Now, with Deshaun Watson playing the best football of his Browns career and Dillon Gabriel nearing a potential return from injured reserve, Cleveland could soon face a four-quarterback roster crunch.

Nick Pedone breaks down what we're hearing around the Browns, why Sanders' future in Cleveland may have changed, what Dillon Gabriel's return means, and what it could take for Andrew Berry to actually consider trading the former fifth-round pick.

The Browns aren't necessarily looking to move Sanders... but if the right team comes calling with the right draft pick, could Cleveland actually make the move?

Nick Pedone and Dylan Feltovich break down everything you need to know before Browns vs. Steelers, including what Deshaun Watson must do to deliver a complete game against Pittsburgh's veteran defense.

Deshaun Watson just gave the Cleveland Browns another reason to believe.

Watson wasn't perfect in Cleveland's home opener against the Carolina Panthers, but when the Browns needed him most, the veteran quarterback delivered another fourth-quarter comeback... giving Cleveland back-to-back game-winning drives in consecutive games.

After previously questioning whether Watson had anything left in the tank, Nick Pedone and Dylan Feltovich break down how Watson is proving those doubts wrong, why the fourth quarter matters, and what this could mean for the Browns at 2-1.

Plus, the young Browns continue to make an impact as Cleveland heads into a huge Thursday night matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. All of that and more covered in the CFR's postgame YouTube stream!

Deshaun Watson is back at Huntington Bank Field for his first regular-season home game since returning from injury... and the atmosphere surrounding the Browns quarterback could be one of the biggest storylines of Week 3.

The CFR's Nick Pedone and Dylan Feltovich break down what Watson needs to do to build on his impressive Week 2 performance against Tampa Bay, how Carolina's heavy zone coverage could create opportunities for KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston, and why the Browns' struggling run game could be critical against the Panthers.

Welcome to a special behind-enemy-lines, informant report edition of the Cleveland Football Report! Nick Pedone sits down with Julian Council (host of the Locked On Panthers podcast and WCNC Panthers TV analyst) for a deep dive into the Week 3 matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers.

Former Cleveland Browns QB Kellen Mond joins Nick Pedone on the Cleveland Football Report to break down Deshaun Watson’s strong Week 2 performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his fit in Todd Monken’s offense, the locker room’s support amid fan boos, the young receiving talent around him, the run game challenges, and the Shedeur Sanders quarterback situation.

Deshaun Watson probably knows what kind of reception he's likely to get when the Cleveland Browns return home Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

After playing well in Cleveland's comeback win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Watson sent a message to Browns fans who have been planning to boo him during the home opener.

Watson said he doesn't want "war" with Browns fans and wants to keep the positive momentum going after Cleveland's Week 2 victory.
